A friend was telling me that he bought a boss pedal that had a little pad on it, and when you hit it with your finger or a drum stick, it made random unpredictable noises.
Apparently they didn't sell at all and he picked it up for $10Australian new 20 years ago. I said I would be interested in it, but he can't find it and I have no idea what it would be called.
Any help greatly appreciated.
(Also as I'm new, apologies if this is the wrong forum)

Hi jimib

Welcome to yet another Aussie
Have you looked at the main home page on this site?
http://www.bossarea.com

Perhaps it was the Hand Clapper, see the link below:

Can I ask, what part of town are you're from jimib?

I suspect it was the Percussion Synth
http://www.bossarea.com/other/pc2.asp

I don't have one myself but I suspect it can make more unpredictable noises than the HC-2 which only produces hand claps.

i live in sandringham.
to be honest i dont really use that many boss pedals (only a dd-6 in my current set up) i sold my ds-1 and have df-2 although im not currently using it. i just joined up to try and get some info on my friends pedal.

i do play in a band (currently without a bass player) sort of indie/noise pop. im really into shoegaze which is why i use so many pedals.

It's not really difficult to find. On average there's one on Ebay per month. The price is going up. The last few I've seen has gone for over $100.
